Garmin and Asus have collaborated to create phones focused on location-based services (LBS), recently announcing the G60 and the M20 models. We got our hands on a pre-production version of the G60 nüvifone model at Mobile World Congress to give you a first impressions review and it struck us as a pretty slick device. The G60 is a quad-band GSM device with tri-band 3G connectivity compatible with networks in Europe and the U.S. (AT&T only). It also has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3-megapixel camera with auto-focus and geo-tagging capability. Its GPS capability should go without saying, and it has virtually the same interface anyone who has used a Garmin GPS device will know well. It has a large resistive touchscreen display, measuring 3.55" diagonally, making it very do-able to fulfill its primary purpose as a GPS device that you can use in your car. Pricing for the G60 has not yet been announced, nor has a carrier partner for the US been finalized. Until those details are nailed down, read on for more juicy details on this capable multi-purpose device...
